It was an all-or-nothing strike, but also one that left him wide open.
A glint flashed in Kado's eyes.
'Now's my chance!'
Without the slightest hesitation, he advanced instead of retreating.
He ducked low, slipping nimbly as a cat into Tag's wide-open guard and dodging the fatal punch.
At the same time, his right foot shot out like an iron hook, precisely catching Tag's advancing ankle.
His left hand followed the momentum, pressing down on Tag's shoulder with a sharp tug!
THUD!
Tag's massive body lost its balance once again. Caught between his own immense forward momentum and the combined force of Kado's trip and pull, he fell forward irrevocably.
This time, Tag slammed solidly onto the ground.
BOOM!
The ground shook again.
Tag struggled to get up, but Kado had already taken a step forward, his massive knee pinning the back of Tag's neck.
A force as heavy as a mountain pressed down, immobilizing Tag.
"I... I give up..."
